where is my NOA1???

[davenjanet 22]

Did you never receive an electronic notification or did you never opt in?

To be honest I knew nothing about electronic notification. Now I do!! Sounds like I can sign up using my receipt.

Thanks!

I sent my packet to the Chicago Lockbox and it was delivered Sunday night Feb 3rd(strange I know) according to USPS. I still don't have my NOA1. Do people typically have to wait 3 or more days to get an NOA1?

I just want to make sure its not lost somewhere.

Kind of a bundle of nerves right now....(and it's only the beginning of this process...eeek).

Someone please reassure me that it will come tomorrow.

P.S. On a side note, I also want to thank everyone who is a part of Visa Journey for being so helpful even in the pre-stages of my process. I don't know how people filed for visas prior to this website. It's a lifesaver. Looking forward to having this supportive community as my husband and I have to endure the next months to come of waiting...

Did you send it to P.O. box or the address provided?

Which carrier did you use?

I sent it to the P.O. Box via priority mail USPS. I'm glad that others are saying it can take a couple weeks to cash the check/get NOA1. I was originally under the impression that they do it within 24-48 hrs (based on other members' timelines I've seen).

Mine was received at the same time, I'm still waiting as well. Glad to see I'm not the only one

I have tracked a few members that have just sent in there's the last week of January. It seems right now, they are getting texts 3 business days away. Somebody's who was delivered Friday got theirs last night. We would be for the Monday deliver, so hopefully, hopefully, tonight at 9 PM roughly PST we get our text for the Sunday night delivery.

That's the pattern/trend I pick up on. However, due to being delivered over a weekend, it is possible we might not get it til Thursday.

That's my most scientific guesstimate

Hmmm good to know. Thanks! I'll keep you posted if I receive anything.

Or some people never get it.

I'd highly suggest not calling about not getting it, boy was that ever a mistake for us.

Sounds like an interesting story. What happened?

[dstrausser83 14]

Yeah same here. Even for the processing time, lets keep in touch with that stuff to see how far apart the cases actually are.

Yeah it takes up to 2 weeks. Just because they got it, it doesn't mean they opened it. I got my NOA1 the same day my check was cashed after 8 days. GOOD LUCK

Word of advice... RELAX NOA2 takes up to 6-7 months

Will do!

Did you receive anything last night?

[kmg617 26]

Did you receive anything last night?

Nope...nothing yet. You?

[dstrausser83 14]

Nope. Well then it has to be tonight!!! Lol, I got my fingers crossed. The way I figured it, it was 3 days, but the weekend, adding Saturday mail in it, could've set us back to 4. So I'd say today is best shot If not, I give up.

[kmg617 26]

Hahah. Yeah. I need to stop checking my phone for the NOA1 text/email...it's driving me crazy. Crossing my fingers too! By the way, why did you think 9PM PST? If it was delivered to Chicago would it be CST?
